    Dubois has a knee injury and has recently split from his trainer mcguigan.

    I see so if that means he'll have fought Whyte and Chisora in two years, amazing.

    Yeah I'd heard cheers, it's looking less likely to take place by the day. I imagine Finkel will do his best to try to coax Usyk to the US. It's whether Usyk fancies that risk. I'm not convinced he will, but I'd be impressed if he did.

    Unlike Fury, Usyk has never turned down a challenge. He would want to prove himself against Wilder, make no mistake. He confirmed it last year.

    That doesn’t even make sense.

    In other words, just usual miniqism.

    Fact is Fury fears Usyk as his personality is impervious to Fury’s trash talk. Fury has **** on the Heavyweight Division and should be stripped in front of miniq.

    Basically announcing what many already suspected would be the case. Joshua, Usyk and now Fury all out until the end of the year and Wilder too after the Ruiz fight fell through doesn't look like he's going to fight until the end of the year.

    Fact is the top of the division right now seems on hold until this Saudi deal hopefully happens at the end of the year. None of the main players are fighting, the top contenders also seem to be waiting for this to play out before making any further fights.

    Hrgovic other than calling out Zhang and a few others doesn't seem to have any plans to fight any time soon to my knowledge waiting for his mandatory shot, Ruiz pricing himself out against Fury and probably Wilder. Dubois unable to come to terms with Usyk and now injured. Joyce and Zhang are the only ones likely to fight this year with their rematch.

    So heavyweight at the top is in hibernation for the year so we better look at the other lower ranked fighters on the rise for our heavyweight fix or just focus on the fighters at the lower divisions who are giving the fans what they want by making the fights that matter.

    I hope the Saudis funk them in the ass and the supposed deal I keep hearing about crumbles. Leave belly & them in the desert dust with a whole wasted year. Basically they got them hanging on a string or a hook and the sellouts are biting.

    Jesus would be spinning in his grave if he heard Fury bowed down to the Arabs and sold out his religion.

    I guess Derrick Chisora is unavailable.

    Why would Usyk be out until December? If Dubois can’t fight him, then it’s going to be Wilder.

    Dubois has linked up with Chisora trainer Don Charles ahead of the Usyk fight with the WBA ordering Usyk fight Wilder if Dubois forfeits his shot. Looks like unless he wants to be stripped, Usyk goes into December the more active fighter (not difficult in today's world).
